tem for BD format, similar to use of CSS (Content
Scramble System) for DVD format, certain restric-
tions are imposed on playback, analogue signal
output, etc., of AACS protected contents. The
operation of this product and restrictions on this
product may vary depending on your time of pur-
chase as those restrictions may be adopted
and/or changed by AACS after the production of
this product.
Furthermore, BD-ROM Mark and BD+ are addi-
tionally used as content protection systems for

including playback restrictions for BD-ROM Mark
and/or BD+ protected contents. To obtain addi-
tional information on AACS, BD-ROM Mark, BD+,
or this product, please contact an authorized
Customer Service Centre.
z Many BD-ROM/DVD discs are encoded with copy
protection. Because of this, you should only con-
nect your player directly to your TV, not to a VCR.
Connecting to a VCR results in a distorted picture
from copy-protected discs.

Introduction
BD-ROM Disc Features
BD-ROM Discs can store 25 GB (single layer) or
50 GB (dual layer) on a single sided disc - about
5 to 10 times the capacity of a DVD.
BD-ROM Discs also support the highest quality HD
video available in the industry (up to 1920 x 1080) -
Large capacity means no compromise on video
quality. Furthermore, a BD-ROM disc has the same
familiar size and look as DVD.
• The following BD-ROM disc features are disc
dependent and will vary.
• Appearance and navigation of features will also
vary from disc to disc.
• Not all discs will have the features described
below.
•
BD-ROM, Hybrid disc have both BD-ROM and
DVD (or CD) layers on one side. On such discs,
BD-ROM layer will be only played back in this
player.
Video highlights
The BD-ROM format for movie distribution supports
three highly advanced video codecs, including
MPEG-2, MPEG4 AVC (H.264), and SMPTE VC1.
HD video resolutions are also available:
• 1920 x 1080 HD
• 1280 x 720 HD
For High-Definition Playback
To view high-definition contents from BD-ROM discs,
an HDTV is required. Some discs may require HDMI
OUT for viewing of high-definition contents. Ability to
view high-definition contents in BD-ROM discs may
be limited depending on the resolution of your TV.
Graphic planes
Two individual, full HD resolution (1920x1080)
graphic planes (layers) are available, on top of the
HD video layer. One plane is assigned to video-
related, frame accurate graphics (like subtitles), and
the other plane is assigned to interactive graphic
elements, such as buttons or menus.
For both planes, various wipes, fades and scroll
effects may be available.
Menu sounds
When you highlight or select a menu option, sounds
can be heard such as button clicks or a voice-over
explaining the highlighted menu choice.
Multi-page/PopUp Menus
With DVD-Video, playback is interrupted each time a
new menu screen is accessed. Due to BD-ROM
disc’s ability to preload data from the disc without
interrupting playback, a menu can consist of several
pages.
You can browse through the menu pages or select
different menu paths, while the audio and video
remain playing in the background.
Interactivity
Certain BD-ROM Discs may contain animated
menus and/or trivia games.
User Browsable Slideshows
With BD-ROM Discs, you can browse through vari-
ous still pictures while the audio remains playing.
Subtitles
Depending on what is contained on the BD-ROM
disc, you may be able to select different font styles,
sizes and colors for some subtitles. Subtitles may
also be animated, scrolled or faded in and out.
BD-J Interactive Capability
The BD-ROM format supports Java for interactive
functions. “BD-J” offers content providers almost
unlimited functionality when creating interactive
BD-ROM titles.
BD-ROM Disc Compatibility
This player supports BD-ROM Profile 2.
• Discs supporting BD-Live (BD-ROM version 2
Profile 2) that allows interactive functions to be
used when this unit is connected to the Internet in
addition to the BONUSVIEW function.
• Discs supporting BONUSVIEW (BD-ROM version
2 Profile 1 version 1.1/Final Standard Profile) that
allows Virtual packages or Picture-in-Picture func-
tions to be used.
• See “Enjoying BD-LIVE™ or BONUS VIEW™ in
BD-Video” on page 34 for details.

Attaching the speakers to the
player
a You will have received six speaker cables.
Each one is color-coded by a band near each
end and connects one of the six speakers to the
player.
b Connect the wires to the player.
Match each wire’s colored band to the same col-
ored connection terminal
on the rear of the player.
To connect the cable to
the player, press each
plastic finger pad to open
the connection terminal.
Insert the wire and release
the finger pad.
Connect the black end of each wire to the termi-
nals marked -(minus) and the other end to the
terminals marked + (plus).
c Connect the wires to the speakers.
Connect the other end of each wire to the correct
speaker according to the color coding:
Grey Rear Behind you and to your right
Blue Rear Behind you and to your left.
Green Center Above or below screen, directly in
front of you.
Orange Sub This can be placed in any front
Woofer position.
Red Front In front of you, to the right of the
screen.
White Front In front of you, to the left of the
screen.
Be careful of the following
Be careful to make sure children not to put their
hands or any objects into the *speaker duct.
*Speaker duct: A hole for plentiful bass sound on
speaker cabinet(enclosure).
Positioning the System
The following illustration shows an example of posi-
tioning the system. Note that the illustrations in
these instructions differ from the actual unit for
explanation purposes.
For the best possible surround sound, all the speak-
ers other than the subwoofer should be placed at
the same distance from the listening position (A).
A Front left speaker (L)/ B Front right speaker (R):
Place the front speakers to the sides of the moni-
tor or screen and as flush with the screen surface
as possible.
C Center speaker: Place the center speaker above
or below the monitor or screen.
D Surround left speaker (L)/ E Surround right
speaker (R): Place these speakers behind your
listening position, facing slightly inwards.
F Subwoofer: The position of the subwoofer is not
so critical, because low bass sounds are not
highly directional. But it is better to place the sub-
woofer near the front speakers. Turn it slightly
toward the center of the room to reduce the wall
reflections.
